English virtuoso folk guitarist Adrian Legg became famous for his supersonic
fingerpicking but is actually more important for his fusion of
folk, country, bluegrass, blues and new age elements.
After three albums released only in England,
Technopicker (Spindrift, 1983),
Fretmelt (Spindrift, 1985),
Lost For Words (Making Waves, 1986),
Legg became a sensation with
Guitars And Other Cathedrals (Relativity, 1990), which remains a
classic of modern guitar, thanks to the frenetic
Thump The Clouds, Reckless Love,
Guitars And Other Cathedrals.

On the other hand, the best moments on
Guitar for Mortals (Relativity, 1992) may be on the
contemplative, elegiac tunes Waltzing with Jesus and
The Netsman And The Laird.

Wine Women And Waltz (Relativity, 1993)

Mrs Crowe's Blue Waltz (Relativity, 1993) contains the
Green Ballet
and
High Strung Tall Tales (Relativity, 1994)
the
High Strung Suite.
Both still rank very high.
